Yes, a landlord can ask for first and last month plus security. They are entitled to ask for what they would like, and you don't have to agree with it, therefore you don't have to rent from them.

Some landlords require all three, some don't. It's up to the parties to agree on the terms, but the landlord set his terms, and the tenant can take the place or leave it.
Can a landlord ask for first and last month rent plus security in North Carolina?
Under the Tenant Security Deposit Act, a landlord of a residential rental property can collect a security deposit of 2 weeks' rent if the tenancy is week to week, 1 1/2 months' rent if the tenancy is month to month, or 2 months' rent if the tenancy period is greater than month to month (such as a yearly tenancy). The Act also allows the landlord to ask for a "reasonable" non-refundable pet deposit.
It is against the law for the landlord to ask for first and last months rent to someone who is renting?
Massachusetts statutes allow a landlord to collect, at the beginning of a tenancy, the first month's rent, the last month's rent, a security deposit, and a key fee. Most states are similar.
If you pay a security deposit and first months rent is the following month going to be in full payment of the rent or prorated?
The first month's rent pays for your first month in the apartment. You will owe the agreed-upon rent to the landlord the second month. I can't see why anything would be prorated--your security deposit cannot be used for rent.
What to do if a tenant decides not to move into a property a few hours before they are due to?
If there was a lease, the landlord has an obligation to try to rent it. Until then, the tenant owes the rent. If this was a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord should keep the first month's rent, and return the security deposit and last-month's rent, if any.
In Massachusetts can a landlord ask for first last and security?
They sure can. See the state's guide to tenant rights and responsibilities for more info. http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=ocaterminal&L=4&L0=Home&L1=Consumer&L2=Housing+Information&L3=Tenant+%26+Landlord&sid=Eoca&b=terminalcontent&f=tenants_rights_and_responsibilities&csid=Eoca
What do you pay to the landlord before you move in?
To move into a dwelling, the landlord is going to generally ask you for the first month's rent, a security deposit, and often times the last months rent. Every state has its own rules about this and you should check with it. In South Carolina and Florida your security deposit may not exceed one month's rent. And in both states that security deposit may not be used as rent unless you and the landlord mutually agree.
When you pay first and last security deposit on a rental home and you stayed there for your first month do you owe after the first 30 days or do you start paying on the second month you just don't get?
Normally you start paying the rent after 30 days. The landlord keeps the "last" months rent as a security deposit until you move out. In some states, you can use this as the final month's rent on your lease (usually the 12th month.) If you renew your lease the landlord will keep it until your final 30 days. . . that's why it's called the "last" month's rent.
Landlord has last months rent plus security. can I live out last months rent?
Yes you can. Your landlord cannot use your last month's rent as security deposit and vice versa.
Can a landlord deny you an apartment if you only have first and last month's deposit even though they asked for Security deposit as well?
It depends on what state you are in according to RentLaw.com
Can a landlord use your last month's rent to repair the apartment?
No. Your last month's rent is that: your last month's rent. The landlord must allow you to stay in your apartment for the last month and not use that money for any other reason. If the landlord collected a security deposit then he can use it to repair his unit: IF you are the one who damaged it outside the realm of normal wear and tear. He cannot use your security deposit as your last month's rent unless you agree to it.
